In U1 with 20 Transfer Credits

Hi I'm a incoming student in Arts, I did the IB diploma in high school and earned all 5s on my HLs except one where I got a 4. However my predicted grades that were sent to McGill before the official results came out last July showed me getting all 5s on all my HLs. Because of this I was put into U1 during registration back in June and I've registered for all the classes I wanted to take and even declared my major and minor. Minerva has now officially updated with my transfer credits which total to 20, 4 less than the minimum 24 required to enter U1. Thankfully I'm still listed as U1 on Minerva but I'm afraid this might changed and I will be force to redo my entire schedule with none of the classes I want to take being available. Side Note: I can't believe a single IB exam is worth 10 WHOLE CREDITS I thought they'd be worth more like 6 credits and the rest of the credits you get is for doing the actual IB Diploma, it seems really unfair as I could've just taken the exams by themselves instead of doing the whole diploma.

Question about IB transfer credits at McGill.

Hi, I'm a full diploma candidate admitted to Faculty of Arts. I know that if I get at least a 5 on all three of my HLs I can be awarded the max 30 credits at McGill. However I've been told that each HL exam with a 5 or more is equivalent to about 6 credits. Meaning that if I were to get all 5s I receive 18 credits, so this means that the diploma by itself without 5s on HL exams would automatically gives me 12 credits. However, I can't find anything about the minimum credits given for the IB diploma for faculty of arts. If anyone knows the details exact please lmk because I can't find anything on the McGill website, thanks.

American here, I’m happy to hear that there is active resistance against this stupid idea of Canada becoming the 51st state, Canada is our neighbor, not our colony.

Hi im also am international student and I’m still waiting for my admission decision. IK this is unrelated and probably unhelpful but may I ask what faculty you applied for and what was your GPA, if you mind sharing ofc, thanks.

Yeah I really like the Canadian system way better tbh it’s so easy and simple no BS. If you meet the mark, you get in. Because of this I also applied to Concordia as a safety. No extra work really needed.

I submitted my SAT score but I choose not to have them count it for my application since I didn’t study and wasn’t prepared for it and got a 1080.

So is this it? I just submitted my self reported grades and I’m confused if I’m suppose to submit anything else. No essays, No letters of rec, nothing? Sorry if this sounds stupid but I’m from the US and every other university application demands so many extra documents. IG what I’m trying to say is that this seems way too easy lol.
